Imo state owes me N8 billion, I fed myself as Governor for 8 years – Okorocha counters corruption charges

Former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha has reacted to corruption charges against him by the EFCC.

Speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Monday evening, Okorocha accused the Imo state Government of owing him N8 billion. He said he never collected the money meant for security votes during his tenure.

“How much is Imo State government money?

“Imo State is really owing me because I never collected my security votes; I am supposed to collect N8 billion if I have to make claims for security votes I did not collect, he said

The Lawmaker said he fed himself and used his personal cars during his tenure as governor.

“I fed myself throughout when I was in the Government House. I used my personal cars. Those who say I was broke are liars. If you talk about Nigerians blessed by God, I raise my hand to be one of them. I was Rochas before I became governor. In fact, governor made me poorer,” he said.
